We are going to start to see the Windows 9 preview fairly soon according to various reports.  

Link: http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-expected-to-announce-windows-9-on-september-30

We've heard the rumors of supposed features and user interface changes, so we can only wait and see what really to expect in Windows 9.

The real question is, what do you want to see changed or added in Windows 9?

"Pin on Top" bug

0

Hello. First, I tried searching the forums for this but I get a time out error when I do. Also, it looks like the forums are running slow.

 

Anyway, I have WindowFX 5 installed on Win8.1 x64. Every so often, the "Pin on Top" feature will get turned on by itself with out me selecting it. I like this feature as I do use it but its becoming a problem when working with multiple windows. Is there a way to only allow the "Pin on Top" feature to work with "Ctrl+Click", "Shift+Ctrl+Click" or ...

Version 8.10 Causes issues in 8.1 with multimonitors

With multi monitors and multi video wallpapers, version 8.10 on Win 8.1 x64 causes second display video to out right crash, leaving a image of the Primary display as a static background on second monitor. How ever I notice that the DShost.exe dose not crash but just freezes in the Taskmanager (CPU usage just stops on second display)

8.09 beta seems to work flawless still on 8.1 x64

FarStone VirtualXP and W7, 8, Windows Server 2008/2012

We all know that Microsoft no longer supports the XP OS (except for the IRS). So, patches for vulnerabilities aren’t coming and those with the OS are under rather severe risk of spyware, malware and other OS exploits when running the OS. It’s also true that running virtualizing software is the best protection of a computer on the net, and off it (when checking out new software).

FastStone has created VirtualXP (1.0):

WinCustomize and other Stardock related sites were down most of yesterday due to a big server issue.  We were able to get mostly everything restored last night and I think with the exception of forum avatars, everything should be in working order today.  If not, please let me know.

Now that we’re done with those issues, we can get back to business and that business is skinning.  We have several new submissions including an update for a vStyler Master skin that has been update...

Object Desktop Problem

I'm not sure what i did but for some reason Object Desktop Manager has decided that I don't have any Stardock software on my computer. My subscription is expired and I'm concerned because I may need to re-install Windows on my laptop and I don't know how it will effect trying to reinstall my Stardock stuff. I was actually wanting to do some skinning and make sure my stuff was as up to date and backed up before I started messing with Windows and I don't think I even have the S...

Inactive Explorer Background Changes Colors

0
0
Greetings. I have an interesting problem that I'm trying to track down, and I wonder if anyone's seen this before. When an normal explorer.exe window is active and has the focus, the background is the normal color for the skin. When another window gets the focus and therefore the first window goes inactive, then its background color changes inexplicably.

I'm digging around in SkinStudio trying to track this down, but does anyone have any ideas?

TorrentLocker is a truly deadly piece of malware infecting folks using BitTorrent. While there are ways of getting rid of the others, this one combines CryptoLock...
